...and the 992 is wider than the 991...
Thanks Paul. I will check the width again. There was no room for error at all with the Macan GTS :lol: .

If you are worrying about getting it in your parking place this is a fun site for car comparisons size, weight etc.

It even includes a parking simulator :?

Do you know if electric folding mirrors is an option that can be retrofitted at a reasonable cost?
Kufatec offer it, although looks like they haven’t actually fitted one on either 991 or 992 🙄 Usually any kind of physical retrofit is prohibitively expensive.

That is expensive! Shame I've found a car with everything else just right but missing this option. I need the electric folding mirrors to get the car in the garage! Oh well the hunt continues ...
If you can get the car to fit without folding mirrors , imho the sports design mirrors look much nicer

Guys what are your views on the 991.1 Carrera 3.4l engine compared to the 3.8l in the Carrera S?

Entry level 911, lot cheaper used than equivalent “S” and lower base spec, personally wouldn’t consider one.

Spotted this one yesterday with a decent spec so thought I'd ask on here for views. Does the 3.4l feel under powered?

Looks nice that but I think would feel slow against your f80 m3 and roughly on par with your E92

Being a black edition it has all the spec a “S” would have plus more, certainly a high spec. It doesn’t say how many owners and also isn’t with full OPC history, so just may throw up some points if going for extending the warranty. Reasonable miles though, personally hate the ducktail 😖 but we all have different tastes. It’s not slow but 🙄

Two previous owners. Service history does concern me. It has 1 Porsche service 2 Specialist. The seller has a good relationship with a local OPC and said would assist to extend warranty after 90 days ownership if required. Not sure about the price too... seems a bit steep. Anyway going to see the car tomorrow as it's not far from me.
